Description
Overview
The Taylor 814ce with V-Class bracing creates an incredibly dynamic and clear tone with great sustain and intonation. The classic tone wood combination of Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce still delivers its characteristic blend of warmth, low-end presence, and high-range sparkle, but V-Class bracing elevates that tone to new heights. Rosewood’s rich overtones bloom with more clarity than ever, and the advanced V bracing introduces impressive tone and power across the entire tonal spectrum for a rich and expressive sound.
Standout material features include a smoky ebony fretboard sourced from Taylor’s Crelicam mill in Cameroon, maple binding, rosewood edge trim, radius armrest, an abalone rosette edged with rosewood, and mother-of-pearl Element fretboard and peghead inlays. The 814ce also includes a Venetian cutaway and the award winning ES2 acoustic electronics, and ships in a deluxe hardshell case.
